The universe, or all that is known of it, is the City of BLAME!, the swallower of all hope, the avatar of Time itself. In the universe of BLAME!, the remnants of humanity find hope in the form of perseverance, the only thing that keeps them going. Just then, a faint glimmer of hope starts to sparkle. Still, as the narrative gets closer and closer to the end, and the silence grows, the reader may feel like life itself feels like is gradually falling apart. The six-volume set is sometimes full of characters, briskly aggressive and nihilistic other times, the pages are almost desolate in engulfing silence, devoid of life. As big and new as the concepts of BLAME! are, sometimes the sweeping, illustrated landscapes and inspired use of negative space can overshadow the narrative, causing the reader to suddenly jump out of the story to appreciate these fine details. Composed of 65 chapters, also called Logs, BLAME! was a revolutionary step in the cyberpunk manga genre, challenging accepted concepts and forms.
